In the past four years, I do not know what changed more-- me or my hair (let’s consider them mutually exclusive
for now). It’s been a wild ride. I joined as a quiet awkward girl and I am leaving as not-so-quiet awkward girl. When I
joined boarding, I was tremendously scared of going into a new environment. Kodai has taught me a lot of important
lessons. It has broken me and mended me on various occasions. Nevertheless, this microcosm has become my home.

I am truly terrified to leave-- to leave behind my little people at Upper Boyer (Deeksha, Khushi, Vedika, Vihaa,
Zangmo, Soumya, Anuja and Megha); to leave behind my sister; to leave behind a massive, sheltered chunk of my life. I
would like to thank all my friends for such irreplaceable memories and for not giving up on me despite my weirdness. I
love and cherish you all. Our last year has been tough but the love and respect we share amongst each other have gotten us
to a better place. During any situation like this, our grade knows to come together despite the differences we have. This is
why I love our batch.
The next chapter of our lives is going to be filled with opportunities for everyone and I cannot wait to hear about
it. Keep in touch, Class of 2020.

Thanks for helping me pass highschool. Probably would have failed if it wasn't for fromtheotherside and the rest of Class of 2020.
You guys helped me achieve something out of this wonderful experience. You guys also made me question people, like WHAT?,
HOW? Just so you know it's not funny. We will always be fromtheotherside.
